## About

Photo and video editing app with AI tools, filters, and creative effects

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026 when the login screen returned an error from a Syrian connection. Community volunteers contacted the company twice in March 2026 citing the lifting of sanctions; one reported receiving a reply, but its content could not be confirmed and there has been no resolution.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-16 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed PicsArt's Android support team at support-android@picsart.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria, the removal of EU sanctions, and included supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources. This is the second independent volunteer outreach to PicsArt.
- 2026-03-14 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer contacted PicsArt's support using the Unblock Syria email template and supporting documentation to request that access be restored for users in Syria. The volunteer reported receiving a response from PicsArt, which was forwarded to corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com as an attached screenshot. The response content is not available in the email text.
- 2026-02-16 — Investigated. Community member reported that PicsArt is blocked in Syria. Testing from a Syrian IP address (5.155.34.160) on Chrome/Android showed an error on the login screen when attempting to use the service. The photo and video editing platform blocks access for users in Syria. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/x5vidlnnbgm1uzzi4dzz5t02/tjtqpvipy35cigqdy955n3vd-screenshot-.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
